Students will investigate, analyze, and contribute to the journey of a story from its earliest to most contemporary iteration. With an emphasis on stories told in visual mediums, students will discover why some adaptations are successful and others miss the mark. The semester will culminate in a “pitch session” where students will create a verbal and visual pitch for a new adaptation of a classic story.

Topics vary each semester offered.
